Dustin is practical and relatable while being very knowledgeable. He has been very frank, direct, and helpful. A different voice has offered me some clarity.

I’ve only met with Dustin once so far, but I could immediately tell that he was the right fit. You can tell that there is 0 judgement and he is genuine.
Dustin is relatable in a way that differentiates him from other therapists, and feels like talking to a close friend.
Thanks Dustin.

He’s very kind and relatable. Anything he doesn’t understand isn’t at fault of his, but of my own. I either don’t know how to word it or forget before our session. He is a very good therapist and I would recommend him to many people in my age group or older.

Dustin is extremely helpful. He doesn’t make you feel rushed or that he has another session coming up. I am beyond thankful for his advice as well as things that would better me. I am the type of person that likes to be told what to do so that way not only can I be productive, but also successful and seeing and learning from him, will make me successful. I believe he also has been and will continue to help those who are paired up with him. I have nothing wrong to say about that man. He is sophisticated, intelligent, and all of the words that are synonyms for brilliant. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
